目次
Merging Redo History and Error Notification into a Separate Editor/Window
Current System
The current redo History (which also acts as the action history) is hidden in the toolbar under "Repeat>History...", and the error notification only shows up at the top header or as a popup that can't be accessed again. Examples are shown below.
Proposal
If the Redo History was moved to a separate window/editor, and error notifications were sent to said window, it would allow for greater error notification discovery and greater scene awareness. It would also give users a sense of when the error occurred in the context of their actions.
- Proposal (mockup, needs to include specific object names...):
Advantages
- Greater error information access
- Unified event log
- Standardized method of notification
- Clarifies what undo will affect
Disadvantages
- More editors open
- Increased window clutter
- Needs larger area than a button (currently)
PLyczkowski
I agree this would make things a bit clearer, and solve the issue of errors displaying for a few seconds and then disappearing. What I change is the name - to just "History", and placement - not in a new window, but in a Quick Settings Popup in the global bar.
Make this better!
